Our Campsite at Rockland
Gold was discovered in the Rockland area in 1868, and by 1870,
the town had saloons, stores, a post office, express office, and a population of 150. The ten stamp mill was burned
down by a disgruntled miner after a pay dispute. The post office was discontinued in 1872, and thereafter, Rockland
had its ups and downs. The district became active again during World War 1, and operations shut down for good in 1934.
Very few buildings remain today. Those that have survived are in very poor condition.
